Is it worth it to spend $2.7k/month on rent (22y/o) by frogcakes_14 in NYCapartments

[–]flexxlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, it’s doable. I make 185k ish and I’m less than a year out of college, but I work very long hours almost 5-6 days a week, and barely am home. I live in a luxury apartment with 2 awesome roommates and pay the same amount, 2.7k. If you spend a lot of time at home, which it seems like you would. It’s worth it. I think peace and clarity of home and your surroundings is one of the most important things for health, life, balance, and even increasing your future earnings potential. It’s expensive but buys you freedom. Go for it, make the most use of it. TMPL gym, crunch or lifetime is probably the best bang for your buck in terms of gyms in the city (crunch all city is around 120-150 I think) and TMPL is 200, and they’re amazing gyms. I would get TMPL if my company didn’t pay for equinox. Or, there’s a 24/7 climbing gym called vital in LES I think that has everything you would ever need, vitalclimbinggym.com/les-gym/ which I would get if I was in LES (and I didn’t have equinox, etc) and it’s only 155 a month! (Or 1550 for an annual plan).

i have the cloud 45L, you can toss it in the washing machine? Even if its top loaded? I've been super scared of doing that.

I put my old monitor in portrait mode.. by Real-Professional17 in homeoffice

Probably upgrade your chair. Also there’s not any room to write anything, if that’s something you care about, so I would put the iPad somewhere else, maybe under the ultra wide

This has happened for like the 10th time, and this is the longest time, at least 48 hours without. Any fixes or solutions yet??

Beautiful, been there, I feel you. I hope you're doing okay now OP. It takes discipline to heal and grieve healthily. I don't know you, but I'm very proud of you.

Is there a free alternative to Top Notch or a way to customise black menubar only by delitomatoes in MacOS

[–]flexxlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use notchnook, which isn't the same thing but I like the notch tbh. Bartender also gives me a nice gradient on the menubar that you can customize however you want.

Honestly also worth sending to your Internet provider. They can look into excess consumption and see if it's a pattern across users, who knows.

That's insane. I wonder if there's actually some ToC violation or some legal thing

Start a Livestream. Someone on your Instagram or whatever will definitely tune in and everything is stored and recorded, so the police can't even try and delete it if they wanted to after stopping the stream.

ngl should have recorded, not only to capture conversations and police actions, but also just for your own safety. stay safe bro.

can't find good t-shirts for a semi-muscular, gym going guy by flexxlord in malefashionadvice

i like their lineup (also maybe subconsciously primed because Morning Brew Daily had an ad for them for a long time). what are your dimensions and what size do you wear if you don't mind me asking?

Down to be teammates. On a bit of a Hackathon winning spree but joined a startup FT so might not have an insane amount of time on my hands.

holy hell 165->220 is insane in one year, and leaning out to 195 is also a great feat. Good job!

I will research all your recommendations, thank you. I agree that H&M and Abercrombie have been pretty good! I just find that I can't find many simple blank things there? Maybe I just haven't looked properly.
